How many times have you and your vinas decided that there was nothing to do, simply because you couldn’t think of anything within your budget? Well, think again ladies. Here’s a list of 20 things you can do with your vinas on a budget, organized by cost.
FREE-ish
(Depending on where you live, you may need to consider bus or gas costs, which will bump up the cost!)
OPEN MIC NIGHT
Skip the alcohol (which we all know can be pricey), and just enjoy the moment!
SUNDAY MARKET
Go for some great photos and to meet your local makers, (if you can resist buying everything).
SWEAT IT OUT
Gym memberships usually have an option to let you bring a friend for free. Or go for a hike!
DISCOVER SOME MAGIC
Visit your local crystal/gemstone shop for some free positive vibes.
GAZE AT THE STARS
Grab your vinas and a box of wine, and lay out underneath the stars.
HAVE A PHOTO SHOOT
Your vinas can all take turns hyping each other up as you each pose for the camera.
MAKE A TIME CAPSULE
This one’s pretty self-explanatory!
OLD IS NEW AGAIN
Be a tourist in your own city. See everything with a fresh, curious perspective!
“CHEAP” DATES: $5 – $10
GO ON AN ICE CREAM DATE
So simple, but so rewarding.
OR, GO ON A COFFEE DATE
Like ice cream, but with coffee.
HOST A POTLUCK PARTY
Each vina can bring a homemade dish.
HAVE AN OLD-FASHIONED SLEEPOVER
Complete with cheesy Drew Barrymore movies, makeovers and popcorn. Also a great time to bring other those homemade dishes and have a potluck.
EXPLORE A CORN MAZE
If your city has one of these (and it’s open), you’re in luck. Corn mazes are packed with fun for a low entry cost.
ENGAGE IN A BAKE-OFF
Having a (friendly) baking competition between you and your Vina’s.
“MODERATELY-PRICED” DATES: $10 – $20
RIDE BIKES
It’ll only be pricey if you have to rent a bike. My city has bike rentals for $15 for 3 hrs.
BEACH DAY
This is one can be pricey, but can be kept low if your vinas all pitch in.
GO BOWLING
Simple, cheap, and amazing cafeteria food to indulge in? It’s the perfect guilty pleasure vina date night.
DRIVE – IN
If it’s open in your city, make it a goal to drive up there with your vinas for some old-fashioned fun.
The prices may be cheap, but the quality of memories made will be anything but.
